That will be a really nice color!
Now as for what you said up above, the fuel pump actually sucks the gas from the gas tank, there is no pressure in the tank itself, no matter how much is sloshes to push it, that being said you could attach a vacuum gauge to the suction side of the fuel pump to see if it's pulling a vacuum, if there is no vacuum, there will be no gas, from there on the other side of the pump is the pressure side. Does this make sense?
